Inclusion Scotland discussion

Julie Bilotti

• From 1st April 2017, when the Work Programme and Work Choice stop in Scotland, we will have our own Scottish services to help people get work;

• We want to know what you think we should do with these new powers.

• There are more disabled people in Scotland who do not have a job than disabled people who do;

• We know the Work Programme hasn’t helped disabled people get a job; and

• We know Work Choice has been a bit better but -

• We need your help to make things better.

• What can we do differently?• Who isn’t getting help now who needs it?• What has worked for you?• What hasn’t?• Who else do we need to help us – for

example health and social care services? • what should we ask them to do?
